A clear record

Privacy & visitor analytics

Vivek Perspective records page visits, time spent, device and browser type, approximate city/region/country when supplied by the hosting network, and questions submitted to the on-site assistant or Lab.

What is not stored

Raw IP addresses and precise GPS location are not stored. An IP address is converted into a short, session-specific pseudonymous fingerprint before the visit is recorded. Location may be unavailable or inaccurate, particularly when a VPN or corporate network is used.

Identity and purpose

A reader remains anonymous unless they voluntarily give a name or email to the assistant. Records are used by Vivek to understand readership, improve navigation, answer content gaps and protect the site. They are not sold or used to follow readers outside this website.

Retention

Visitor analytics are retained for up to 180 days. The owner’s signed-in and registered devices are excluded from public footfall totals.
